Today is an incredibly sad moment for everyone in the Hospitality Industry. It is with heavy hearts that we have had to shut down our venues.

We are in shock and devastated by what has happened to the industry and everyone involved.

The family has been operating pubs in Sydney for over 100 years, with Bruce starting Solotel in 1985. Since then our family has grown Solotel pubs, bars and restaurants across Sydney and Brisbane. We live and breathe hospitality and have put our heart and soul into every venue.

To our staff, Solotel's core is the incredible and wonderful people we work with day in and day out. Your passion, integrity and spirit across the venues and head office make the company what it is today - a place where people feel like they belong and can be themselves. We are lucky to work with you and proud to have every single one of you on our team. Thank you.

To our guests who love our places like we do, thank you for your support and having some fun with us. We will open again.

In the meantime, we raise our glasses.

Take care and be safe.

Bruce, Elliot and Anna Solomon
